    • Quotes

      [the morning after Bond sleeps with May Day]

      Max Zorin: You slept well?

      James Bond: A little restless but I got off eventually.

    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits disclaimer "Neither the name 'Zorin' nor any other name or character in this film is meant to portray a real company or actual person" appears right before the gunbarrel opening sequence. It was added after producers discovered a real company run by a person named "Zoran."
    • Alternate versions
      A deleted scene presented on the DVD shows Bond being bailed out of a Paris jail by M following his taxi chase of May Day. The scene shows Bond collecting his personal effects, including the wristwatch with garrote wire from From Russia with Love (1963), an ink pen filled with acid, and a cigarette lighter that's a flame thrower.

    An Underrated Bond Film
    A View to a Kill is what I consider to be an underrated Bond film. It didn't get the respect it deserved when it came out. It was an awesome film and was a great last Moore Bond film.

    The movie is about James Bond (Roger Moore) obtains a microchip from the body of a dead Russian colleague, and finds out it is for sinister plans. Max Zorin (Christopher Walken) is behind things as he and his bodyguard, May Day (Grace Jones) have a scheme to cause mass destruction. Bond must do everything in his power to stop the both of them, and gets help from Stacey Stutton (Tanya Roberts).

    This was such a great film. It had some really good action and had a pretty simple story. For one last time, Roger Moore was awesome as Bond, Christopher Walken was a phenomenal villan, and I'm glad they picked a very good actor like him for the role, and Grace Jones was nice as his sidekick, and Tanya Roberts made a solid Bond girl. Many think she's one of the worst, but she had good chemistry with Bond.

    The fight towards the end is probably the best part and made the film worth it in the end. I don't want to spoil it, but the action and how things went in the finale made the film more satisfying.

    Overall, A View to a Kill is an underrated Bond Film that is very good all the way through.
